Panda-monium!

Here is a picture bound to soften the hardest of hearts. Six baby pandas, all born this year, play together in the Wolong Giant Panda Research Centre in China.

When fully grown, Giant Pandas can grow up to six feet in height and weigh as much as 23 stone. The lethargic animals spend 50 per cent of their days sleeping and survive on a bamboo diet. There are only about 1,000 Giant Pandas living in the wild.
